SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,759, dated March27, 1883.

Application filed January 23, 1883. (ModeL) .To all whom it may concernBe it known that I, GEORGE A. GREGER- SON, of Rochester, in the countyof Olmsted,

and in the State of, Minnesota, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Neck- Yoke Attachments; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a t'ull,,clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in neck-yoke attachments;and it has for itsobject to provide an improved book by which thebreast-strap may be secured to the neck-yoke bar, and an improvedbreast-strap to be employed in connection with said neckyoke bar, asmore fully hereinafter specified. These objects I accomplish by themeans illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-; t

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of'a neck-yoke bar,showing my improved attachment; and Fig. 2, asimilar view, showing myimproved neck-yoke attachment and the neck-yoke strap secured thereto.

In the said drawings, the letter A. indicates a neck-yoke-tip socket orferrule, which is se- -cured to the end of the neck-yoke bar. The

said neck-yoke-tip socket or ferrule has extending from it at a suitablepoint a rearward extension, B, which also extends upward at a rightangle, having an oval or approximately oval shaped button, 0, which isparallel, or

nearly so, with the. neck-yoke -tip socket or ferrule before mentioned.

The letter D indicates a strap which may 7 ment of the buckle iscontinued, and is adapted to be bent backward and passed through thebuckle and fastened therein to secure the breast-strap to the harness.

The breast-strap of the harness is slotted longitudinally, as indicatedby the letter F, by means. of which the strap may be secured to the ovalbutton before mentioned. The strap is provided at a suitable point withthe usual after passing through the buckle.

ln securing the breast-strap to the hook it is placed in a positionparallel with the greatest diameter of the button, and by a propermotion the button is then slipped through the slot. The strap is thenturned so as to bring it at right angles to the button, in whichposition it is evident that it cannot possibly become accidentallydetached.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s--- 1. An attachment for neck-yoke bars, consistingof a ferrule or band, all made in one or more parts, having a rearwardextension bent at right angles, and provided with an oval or nearly ovalbutton at its extremity, lying parallel with the neck-yoke bar, ornearly so, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the neck-yokeattachment having a bent rearwardextension and button, of the neck-yoke strap constructed in one or moreparts, and provided with a buckle and band and with a longitudinal slot,by which it may be secured tothe attachment, substantially as specified.p

In testimony whereof I affix my signature,
